Hi mojo706
Flemil is not dead, I haven't had much time to write the tutorial but
the getting started one really has almost everything you'll need. But
I will start working on a tutorial very soon and place it in the wiki
of the project hosting in google code. In the meantime, you can post
any questions you might have here.
I have also made many changes to the source code which are
substantial. So I suggest you check out the code to get the most
recent changes
